I like how your advantage is also your disadvantage. Nice job!

Wow nice job! While simple I think this was actually really clever and a lot of fun. The fact that your undead helpers just keep piling up and shooting where you do makes it fun, but the added twist of hitting them resulting in anger that causes them to turn on you briefly is pretty genius! It makes the game alternate between you being quite powerful with tons of allies to then all of a sudden a crazy bullet-hell for you to dodge! It wouldve added a lot of you added some token background music and sounds, just some free stuff you can find online. But that's not much of a complaint, nice job!

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I'll keep working on this in the future and hopefully make you proud :

I love the idea of enemies coming back as undead helpers! The feeling of building a private army of undead is really fun, even with such simple graphics. I would have liked more feedback, particularly on why my anger was going up and down, I couldn't quite figure it out.

I'm really happy that you enjoyed playing the game! Right now in fact, I'm working on adding to the game to make communication to the player a lot better such as video effects when your undead helpers are enraged! I also plan an adding sound effects as a warning of when your anger is getting high and I will probably add some kind of tutorial page as well. Thanks for your comment :)

Really cool concept and readable visuals. Once you start getting more and more helpers it really becomes a fun chaotic mess

Perhaps a visual or sound indicator for when your anger becomes high to communicate why your helpers suddenly start shooting you would be good. It's not entirely clear what is happening the first time it happens. Maybe you could also experiment with bigger and slower bullets to give the game more of a bullet hell feeling (similar to Enter the Gungeon).

With more weapons and power-ups, I could see this being really fun

Thank you so much for playing the game and for all your useful feedback! I realise now that I should've prioritised communicating with the player a bit more in the time that I had to make the game, but I'll make sure to add it after the Jam!

The helpers are a clever way so you have to think when to shoot. I would add more weapons, power ups etc. and this could be a nice time killer.

Thanks for the feedback! I know that the graphics aren't too great, I resorted to using just the basic shapes in Unity, it's tough working all by yourself! However in future I'll probably be able to improve the graphics quite a bit! I'm glad you had fun!
